"Buckbeak is going to be killed, they are so cruel, such a lovely creature, they are going to be killed!" Hagrid pulled out a blue coarse cloth handkerchief the size of a tablecloth, blew his nose vigorously, and wiped away his tears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hermione didn't know what to say, so she stood on tiptoe and patted him, hoping to give the big man some comfort.

But Hermione's reassurance didn't seem to work, and Hagrid continued to blame himself, "It's all my fault, I can't speak, they're all sitting there in black robes, I've been losing my notes, and I've forgotten all the dates you've found for me, Hermione." ”

Hagrid's words were a bit upside-down and funny, but none of the people present laughed, they all liked Buckbeak and didn't want the Hippogriff to be killed.

"You can still appeal!" Ron was furious and said, "Don't give up, we still have hope!"

"It's useless, there's no hope." Hagrid said in despair, "But there's one thing I don't understand, Malfoy promised not to pursue this matter again, why do they do this, why?!" Hagrid slammed the table so hard that the whole cabin seemed to shake, and the red circles under his eyes, which were rubbed by the handkerchief, looked a little hideous.

Hermione was taken aback by Hagrid, who looked quite scary in a fit of rage.

"Malfoy is a mean fellow, he can't be trusted!" Ron still looked angry.

Hagrid sat down in his chair and said, "But...... Professor Kate also vouched for it. "Of course Malfoy can't be trusted, but Professor Kate is different, as a professor at Hogwarts, she should be true to her word!

"That woman can't be trusted." Ron regretted this as soon as he said this, he knew that his good friend Hermione admired Professor Kate quite a lot, he looked carefully to the side, and sure enough, Hermione was glaring at him.

Glaring at Ron fiercely, Hermione said, "Do you want me to go to Professor Kate and ask again, after all, this matter also passed through her hands." ”

"Does that work?" Hagrid seemed to have grasped a lifeline, "Will Professor Kate help Buckbeak?" ”

This one...... Hermione really didn't dare to be sure, after getting along for so long, she also learned that Professor Kate was not a loving person, and she probably wouldn't care about the life or death of a Hippogriff, but looking at Hagrid's appearance, Hermione's refusal was really indescribable, so she had to say vaguely, "It should be okay, I'll help you ask first." ”

"Great, with Professor Kate's help, Buckbeak will definitely be saved." Hermione's vague reply automatically turned into a promise in Hagrid's mind, "Thank you so much, Hermione, Buckbeak will thank you too." ”

Looking at Hagrid's rejuvenated face, Hermione could only smile wryly.

On the way back, Hermione asked, "Harry, what's wrong with you, don't say a word." ”

"Huh?" Harry seemed to have just woken up and said, "What's wrong? ”

"Nothing." Maybe he had something on his mind, Hermione said with a wave of her hand, and didn't go to the bottom of it.

Ron, who was next to him, seemed to have guessed something, and said, "The students of Slytherin House are not good things, including their dean. Ron thought that Harry was feeling down now because of his previous arrest at Hogsmeade.

Harry just smiled at his good friend's reassurance, and didn't explain anything, of course he wouldn't be depressed because of Snape's punishment, he just missed his parents, in the eyes of different people, the image of his parents seemed to be quite different, so what were they really like?

……

Hermione looked at the rockskin biscuits on the table, which had been sent by Hagrid, and though she didn't say it explicitly, those eager little eyes were clearly asking what was going on. Hermione had just returned to her dorm room, and had only been separated from Hagrid for less than half a day, and Professor Kate should still be in class at this time, so how could she ask!

But it doesn't matter if Hagrid is too anxious, this matter has already come down by himself, and he has to do it, and Hermione is not the kind of person who is perfunctory to her friends, although she didn't actually promise Hagrid to convince Professor Kate, but she always has to do her best to fight for it, as long as she enlists Professor Kate's support, Buckbeak can be rescued. Hermione didn't doubt Professor Kate's abilities at all, she had been teaching at Hogwarts for more than ten years, and the students she taught were scattered all over the world, which was a good help, and Hermione also knew that the Ravenclaw faction led by Leah's father Carl Price had a close relationship with Professor Kate, and it would be easier if Carl could help.

Maybe I can find Leah? This way you don't have to ask Professor Kate for help.

Phyllis taught her four students according to the traditional master-apprentice relationship in the East, and she has always maintained a sense of distance and hierarchy between teachers and students. That's why Hermione was so hesitant, she didn't know if she would be reprimanded for such a private matter, and a private matter that had nothing to do with her, and whether she would be reprimanded.

Yes, I could ask Leah for help, and realizing that there was another way in front of her, Hermione tidied up a little and went out.

Hermione was going to look for Leah when she went out, and on the way she was constantly thinking about what to say, and before she knew it, she came to the door of Professor Kate's office and knocked on the door.

What's going on? How did you get here? Didn't you go to find Leah? Hermione snapped awake, a flurry of greetings popping up in her head, and she began to think about it.

Just as Hermione wondered if she had been under the Soul Charm, the door to Professor Kate's office was opened.

Amy looked up and saw that it was Hermione, and said in a soft, high-pitched voice, "Miss Granger, are you here to find your master?" ”

"Huh? Oh yes, I'm here to find Professor Kate. Hermione replied in a panic.

"Okay, please come in." Amy said.

Now that we've come here, it's no longer okay to retreat, Hermione took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Professor Kate wasn't in the office, but since Amy had let herself in, the professor should be in another room or about to come back, and Hermione, who was standing there, was a little at a loss, and she casually looked around the office.

Unlike Harry, Hermione hadn't been to the offices of other professors and Headmaster Dumbledore, but this was the place she was most familiar with besides her dorm, with a ginger cat pillow on the couch, a cluster of cute succulents on the shelves next to her, and a cute yellow cup with cat ears in the flower pot below, which Hermione bought when she and Leah went to Hogsmeade to play.

"Miss Granger, tea, please."

Hermione, who suddenly remembered Amy's voice, took the cup and asked, "Isn't Professor Kate here?" ”

Amy said, "Yes, the master went out, but came back soon, Miss Granger will be fine a little longer." ”

"Oh, okay, thanks." Hermione said politely.

Before Hermione had finished her cup of tea, she heard the door open, and Professor Kate, who was wearing a blue-purple robe, walked in, and when she saw Hermione here, she said, "Hermione, what's the matter, something is looking for me?" As he spoke, he took off his robe and hung it on a hanger in the corner.

Hermione said directly, "Yes, Professor, there's something I'd like to ask you to help with. Ever since she walked into the room, Hermione had been thinking about how to raise this with Professor Kate, and she had come up with a lot of speaking techniques, but in the end, she decided to say it directly, which was the easiest and best decision.

Phyllis sat down behind the desk and said, "Say it." ”

Hermione said, "That's right, I've heard that the Ministry of Magic has made a decision to execute Buckbeak, the Hippogriff who hurt Draco at the beginning of the semester, but I love Buckbeak and don't want it to be killed, I hope the professor can help me." ”

Phyllis crossed her hands and said, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Of course, I hope that Phyllis can use her influence to change the decision made by the Ministry of Magic, Hermione thought to herself, "I hope the professor can ......"

Before Hermione could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Phyllis, and she said, "Hermione, you should know that there is a price to be paid for rescuing Buckbeak, there is a cost, and now think about what you should do to reduce the cost as much as possible." ”

Hermione looked at Phyllis, not knowing what to say.

Phyllis said, "Hermione, think about what your purpose is?" ”

Hermione said, "Change the Ministry of Magic's ruling so that they don't execute Buckbeak." ”

Phyllis said, "It's too complicated, let's keep it down." ”

Hermione thought for a moment and said, "Keep Buckbeak alive." ”

Phyllis said: "Very good, you can only do things well if you have a clear understanding of your most fundamental purpose, okay, so be it, I'm busy." ”

Seeing that Professor Kate had said this, Hermione got up and said, "Thank you, Professor, for your guidance." Although she didn't really understand what Professor Kate had taught her, since the professor had said anything, she knew it was time for her to go out.

It was almost eleven o'clock when I left Professor Kate's office, and because there was so much going on this school year, Hogwarts patrols at night were much more intense, and although it wasn't a difficult problem for Hermione - the four of them often held secret meetings after midnight - it was best not to hide in hiding.

Returning to the dormitory before curfew and lying in bed, Hermione recalled the conversation with Professor Kate before, and the professor had already given a solution to the predicament she was currently in, and it was up to each other to understand it.

Hermione thought about it for a long time in bed, but she didn't have any ideas, and finally fell asleep in a daze. Perhaps because of her dreams day and night, Hermione dreamed that she was riding Buckbeak through the sky freely, while the Ministry of Magic officials who came to carry out the execution could only look at her in amazement.

When Hermione woke up the next day, she felt a sore back, but she tossed and turned in her dreams all night, she and Buckbeak had to go into exile in order to avoid the Ministry of Magic, during which she went through countless difficulties, but she overcame them one by one.

"What a mess!" Hermione rubbed her eyes and muttered, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her, and she finally understood what Professor Kate had taught her the solution to this problem last night. It's just that if you do this kind of thing, it's not very safe, maybe something will go wrong, and it would be great if there was Leah's help.

Right! Leah! As long as Leah can cooperate with him, he can naturally save Buckbeak smoothly, and now he needs to think about how to persuade Leah to cooperate with him.

After the last class of the day, Hermione did not go back to the dormitory, nor did she go to the auditorium to eat, but came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and waited.

Hermione didn't wait long before she saw Leah walking towards her with a loaf of bread in her mouth.

Hermione said happily, "You're finally here." ”

Liya swallowed the last bite of bread and said, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Looking for me in such a hurry. ”

Hermione said, "Do you know that Buckbeak is going to be killed? Buckbeak was the Hippogriff. ”

Leah thought about it for a moment and said, "Oh, I remember, what's the matter, who's going to kill it?" ”

Hermione said: "It's someone from the Ministry of Magic, didn't Buckbeak accidentally hurt Draco before, and now the Ministry of Magic has made a decision on that hurting incident, and the fault is all on Buckbeak, so they decided to kill him." ”

Leah asked, "So you want me to beg my dad Carl not to kill Buckbeak?" ”

Hermione shook her head and said, "No, that's too costly. "It's not a big decision, but it's a hassle to change the final outcome, even for Carl, the head of the Law Enforcement Division.

Leah said, "So what do you want me to do?" ”

Hermione said, "I wish you could let Buckbeak go." ”

"Released?" It didn't take long for Leah to come to her senses and say, "You're hoping to create a given?" ”

Hermione said, "Yes. "Although Buckbeak is now kept by Hagrid, it is a wild animal in its own right, and it can survive on its own in the wild. This is the low-cost solution Hermione thought of, this method itself does not require Professor Kate or Leah's father to take the initiative to do anything, if there is really accountability, it will naturally take into account Leah's identity and will not be overly pursued.
